Do shotguns even have headshot multipliers in this game? Even that dumb 4-burst shotgun in blops2 could ohk in core, no idea why they're so against it here.

I think the Brecci is my favorite shotgun in the game which is sad. (Note: Argus is not a shotgun, it is an iron sights sniper)

Dead weight, just like this post.



Sniper is saying a bit much isn't it? I've not done any testing on the range with the slug round but it doesn't go that far does it? Although it is true to say it's got a hell of a OSK kill range for a shotgun, provided you're running ADSing every corner you're coming across which is not my style. I'm rather found of the first one (KSG 262 or somthing like that?) myself.

Don't think so, I have to admit, the total inability of the brecci/haymaker to 1sk at point blank does rub me the wrong way. I could deal with it being literally melee range even, but the fact that it always takes two shots is awful.

The worst possible enemy of those guns is the Argus or KRM, with burst ARs a close second. You cannot win a fight against the 1sk shotties if they land a direct hit in their kill ranges, which feels... bad.

I also love how the Brecci recoils hard right, that's real helpful for headshots! (I swear I get a good chunk of my headshots because I'm a loving mexican jumping bean when using shotties, and hipfires from directly above often headshot)

Actually I jump around so much while using them I've seriously considered Afterburner :v:

I got a few salty rage messages which absolutely cracks me up. If you're getting housed by the Brecci, it's time to do some deep soul searching and inquire why you suck so much with your chosen SMG. I can understand the usual angry pubbies from the Argus (or even KRM), but the Brecci? Realllllly?

I don't ever mind dying to the KRM, its range is so bad I feel they earned it.

The Brecci/Haymakers ideal range seems to be outside SMG/AR hipfire range, where your wall of bullets makes their ADS flinch to much. Which is stupid.

Yeah I just think its pretty funny that the one thing that could consistently stop me going on shotgun rampages through their spawn repeatedly is... another dude with a short range 1hk shotgun :v:

I found golding the KRM exceptionally easy, so far the Brecci is taking 2x-3x as long.

I will say I got a lot more multikills with the Brecci than the KRM. KRMs pump is just too slow for a situation up in their spawn where I'm getting rushed by 3-4 people. Once in awhile I could pull off a triple if the terrain was super favorable, but otherwise the Brecci is easier to do that with.

I found the Argus easier to multikill with than the KRM too. I'm not sure which has the faster fire rate of the two. I think golding the Argus first was a mistake for me, now every other shotgun feels weak as hell.

Nope. It's still lovely and utterly unfriendly to play unless you're with a group who's read the wiki. Can't even lazy-grind the unlocks with pubbies because the games hang on loading 90% of the time. :toot:

I think the mr6 is the only gun without a firerate cap. Everything else has a ridiculously low one compared to past games.

It'd almost be a competitively viable smg if it had more attachments and a higher ammo pool.

Wow the Argus is so much fun -- I'm a pretty bad player and it's forcing me to become better about my aiming and better about ambushing people instead of being the idiot that runs around corners and gets shot. The range on that thing is deceptively good, too. Any worthwhile attachments besides QuickDraw for it?

Rapid fire is pretty good since it helps a lot when you're up against multiple people at once.

The Argus also seems to randomly give out collateral medals on single kills, so if you want to get the challenge for collateral kills done you can just run around with it for a night

If you're not running a shotgun / SMG with Gung Ho and dashing nonstop around the map, you're not playing Combine properly :colbert:

To be fair this applies to every map. Even Fringe, despite it being total trash.

I like the map where B is located inside a building (can't remember the name offhand). If you want it you have to run in and fight for it, or wait until the other team has left and then go after it. None of the "jackass sitting in a high window ADS on the point" stuff.

Most of the time we have a Ground War group going on Xbox. Occasionally we'll get 12 people in the party so naturally we'll split off into groups of 5 and 7. The best part is when both groups decide to stay in the same party chat and team communication is at an all time high.
